The H1sroRY OF THE OorroNr PLANT.

IHE HISTORY OF THE UOTT0N'l HLANT.
Before tho birth of Christ the cultiva-
ton of the plant AMI the use Of cotton for
clothing was probably copfned to India.
Herodotus, who lived in tho fifth century
before Christ, reports that the Indians had
plant which bore, instead of fruit, wool
like that of the sheep, but finer and better,
of which they made clothes, and Arrian
uarrates that the Indians made their
clothes of q fine white kind of fax, which
grew on trees. Other nations do not seem
to have cultivated the plant at that time,
or even to have used cotton, at all events
only exceptionally, as rare expensive,
stuff. Thus, it is assumed, that the prec-
ious material called byssus, spoken of among
the Jews, was cotton. The growth of
cotton and its use, seem to have be-
come diffused shortly after the birth of
Christ. Strabo Gin the Grst century Of our
era) speaks of cotton being cultiv,ted and
manufactured in Susiaua, on the Persian
Gulf and Pliny mentions that the plant
was cultivated, not only in India, but in
Upper Egypt, and says that the Egyptian
priests used the material there grown for
clothing. In all probability the Arabs
brought the cultivation of cotton into
Europe. In The time of Mahomet the use
of cotton was general among them. Al
though there existed at very early period
q trade in cotton goods from India to
Europe. which took place partly by way
Of Constantinople, and partly by way Of
Egypt, which trade became generally ex-
tended, still the use of Cotton stuffs was
very limited throughout the middle ages
aud, although there were cotton manufac-
tories in Granada in the thirteenth century,
in Venice in the fourteenth century in
Flanders in the sixteenth century, and lastly
in England, in the seven,eeth century, Cat
least Of stuffs in which the woof was OF
cotton y these manufactures were inconsid-
erablc in Europe till after the miude of the
last century. Few cotton goods were in
use, and most Of these were imported from
India and China. 1t was in itself improb-
able that it could be made to pay to estab-
lish cotton manufactures in Europe, for the
Indians and Chinese had brought these
branches Of manufactures to considerable
degree of perfection, the transport of the
raw material from such distant regions nec-
essarily increased the price of the man
ufactured article, while the cost of labor i.
extremely low in India, on account of the
few necessities of the natives.

END OF INDIANoLA.-Indiano Tex,
March 1.-The Southern Pacific company
will abandon its terminus at this point and
run its track to Lavoca on Mategorday Bay
ten miles above here. This practically ends
the existence of Indanola. The severe
storms of the past twelve years have
ruined the place. side from the great
losses to property, 400 lives were sacrificed
during that period. The public buildings
will also be removed to port Lavoca, and
citizens are also beginning to move their
dwellings to that place.
